2018 年 7 月，部署了无人机系统 (UAS) 来测量美国科罗拉多州圣路易斯山谷 (圣路易斯山谷) 内低层大气的特性，这是高程低层大气剖面研究 - 遥控飞机团队实验 (LAPSE-RATE) 的一部分。测量目标包括详细说明边界层过渡、峡谷冷空气排水和山谷内对流的启动。这里提供了肯塔基大学对 LAPSE-RATE 所做贡献的详细信息，其中包括七种不同的固定翼和旋翼无人机 UAS 的测量，总计超过 178 次飞行，并提供了经过验证的数据。这些协调 UAS 飞行的数据包括热力学和运动学变量（气温、湿度、压力、风速和风向），包括距地面 900 m 的垂直剖面和长度达 1500 m 的水平横断面。这些测量结果经过质量控制，可在 Zenodo LAPSE-RATE 社区数据存储库中公开获取（https://zenodo.org/communities/lapse-rate/，最后访问日期：2020 年 7 月 23 日），肯塔基大学数据可在 https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3701845 获取（Bailey 等人，2020）。
In July 2018, unmanned aerial systems (UASs) were deployed to measure the properties of the lower atmosphere within the San Luis Valley, an elevated valley in Colorado, USA, as part of the Lower Atmospheric Profiling Studies at Elevation - a Remotely-piloted Aircraft Team Experiment (LAPSE-RATE). Measurement objectives included detailing boundary layer transition, canyon cold-air drainage and convection initiation within the valley. Details of the contribution to LAPSE-RATE made by the University of Kentucky are provided here, which include measurements by seven different fixed-wing and rotorcraft UASs totaling over 178 flights with validated data. The data from these coordinated UAS flights consist of thermodynamic and kinematic variables (air temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed and direction) and include vertical profiles up to 900m above the ground level and horizontal transects up to 1500m in length. These measurements have been quality controlled and are openly available in the Zenodo LAPSE-RATE community data repository (https://zenodo.org/communities/lapse-rate/, last access: 23 July 2020), with the University of Kentucky data available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3701845 (Bailey et al., 2020).
